School District No. 53 (Okanagan Similkameen), serves approximately 2,400 students. Our district is located in the sunny Okanagan and Similkameen valleys of British Columbia and serves students in the communities of Okanagan Falls, Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos, Cawston and Hedley. In 2013, our district embarked on an inclusive process to establish a vision, mission, and core values for the district. This work will serve as a compass to improve student success, to guide how we work together and how we focus our efforts and allocate resources.
